In MBA programs, students are taught that companies can’t expect to compete on the basis of internal managerial competencies because they’re just too easy to copy. Operational effectiveness—doing the same thing as other companies but doing it exceptionally well—is not a path to sustainable advantage in the competitive universe. To stay ahead, the thinking goes, a company must stake out a distinctive strategic position—doing something different than its rivals. This is what the C-suite should focus on, leaving middle and lower-level managers to handle the nuts and bolts of managing the organization and executing plans.

WORLD MANAGEMENT SURVEY

The World Management Survey is the first cross-country, cross-industry dataset built to measure the quality of management practices in establishments. Our vision is to continue to expand the dataset using the rigour and care that goes into creating high-quality data. Most importantly, our vision is to have as many researchers as possible working with this data.
